NEW: There's a new startup in Dubai that is offering up to $20 million for zero-days to break into any smartphone ($15 for only iOS and only Android).
Company says it's made by people with "20 years of experience in elite intelligence units and private military contractors" but won't say who they are, who funds them, who they sell to, or whether they have any legal or ethical restrictions on who they sell to.
“I don’t think you should sell bugs to anyone who’s trying to hide who they are,” a person with experience in the exploit development industry told me.
